The Hawaii Hotel is a 39-room value property across the toad from a great stretch of beach and a short walk to a bus stop, but it's pretty bare-bones and in need of a renovation. Free Wi-Fi and a continental-style breakfast come with the room. Guests might want to compare rates with the Ocean Surf Blue hotel next door.
Scene
Reception is at the neighboring hotel, building sits amid tall palms
One might think the Hawaii Hotel is closed from the desolate look of its exterior. Inside, the small lobby surprises with red and white walls and a black front desk with a marbled top, but guests have to check in next door at the Ocean Surf Blue Hotel. A pretty wooden and marble staircase with wrought-iron railing leads to rooms on the second floor. The hotel is in a row of other hotels conveniently located across the street from a great stretch of beach, and there’s a public parking lot out front framed by tall palm trees.
Location
Near a beautiful beach and a 20-minute drive to South Beach
Hawaii Hotel is across the street from a great stretch of Miami Beach. There are several restaurants within walking distance offering Latin, Cuban, Brazilian, and Peruvian food. The bar scene in South Beach can be reached in a 20-minute car ride or a 40-minute bus ride. The shops in Bal Harbour are within a 15-minute drive or bus ride with a transfer. The airport is less than a 25-minute drive away.
Rooms
Simple rooms with bathrooms that need some TLC
The simple rooms at the Hawaii Hotel have tile floors and tall beds. Colorful framed pictures and Tuscan-yellow accent walls add color to the space. All rooms have tube-style TVs, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms with rusty shower fixtures and cheap, glass shelves are in need of a renovation. Some guests have complained about mold surrounding the air conditioners and the rooms being a little too warm.
